Off the subject, but I just did an inventory.

Before I go to work for the regular four-day, twelve-hour shift, I load up on cigarettes and crank out as many as I can with what little time I have. I have several little plastic containers that can hold 40 cigarettes each. I filled up two of them and stuck one in my work jacket.

Well, it's not the third day of work and just out of curiosity, I did an inventory of my cigarettes. There's still twenty-two cigarettes in the plastic box and two in the metal pocket case.

I've only smoked EIGHTEEN cigarettes in THREE DAYS!!!

I used to go through a pack a day.

Internet Sales Tax and Cigarettes

Internet sales are booming.  Items ordered over the Internet from another state are shipped on a daily basis.

The state lawmakers say nothing until it comes to cigarettes.  Some states have overly taxed cigarettes, forcing adults to purchase online to save money.  It is the American way to shop cheap.  So, why are lawmakers focused solely on Internet sales of cigarettes?  Why have they singled out tobacco products?

They drove smokers to buy cigarettes elsewhere, and now they are trying to persecute buyers for doing so.

Thousands of items are bought on Ebay everyday, yet the lawmakers overlook it.  Napster just won a court case stating they do not have to disclose their customer list.  Why should it be any different with cigarettes?
